Wash Linens (ie. pillows, blankets, comforters, etc.)
If your heavier linens were stored away during the summer months, it's time to break them out and give them a refresh. Wash all of your linens before putting them into storage and also before putting them on your bed. This will help get rid of any unwanted odors and dirt/bacteria.
